Sinopse

This catalog accompanies the exhibition Lucia Laguna: Neighborhood at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand, reproducing works that center around three main themes the artist explores in her paintings: studio, landscape and garden. While landscape is the starting point for Laguna, it is from her studios neighborhood that the artist draws her vocabulary of forms, colors and images - hence the title of the show and this catalogo. In Lagunas paintings, elements such as security gates mix with the flowers sprouting in the walled gardens of suburban homes; in geometric structures, the lines of her studios window frame come undone; steetlamps illuminate household objects such as chairs and tables, a meeting of exterior and interior, public and private. A new painting, reproduced on the cover of this publications, was made by Laguna for the exhibition at MASP, inspired by works from the museums collection and the picture gallery, with its iconic glass easels, Lina Bo Bardis original exhibit design for the building on Avenida Paulista. This book, organized by the shows curator, Isabella Rjeille, includes reproductions of all the works in the exhibition, as well as illustrated texts specially written for the edition by Bernardo Mosqueira, Fabiana Lopes e Marcelo Campos.
